- Yup. Take a stroll over to your local Radio Schlock and get yourself
- a 5K potentiometer. I find that 5K gives me enough range to be able to
- adjust the audio however I want. Installation is simplicity itself. Just
- snip one of the leads of the speaker (doesn't matter which one) and attach
- the free ends to the potentiometer. Make sure that one of the leads goes
- to the center tap of the pot so you can adjust the resistance between the
- 2 wires. On my system at home I even drilled a mounting hole in the front
- panel of my PC case. It looks home-made, but it works like a treat.
